Hi Laurie' The only Cooke is Monm at that time is Walter 1860, parents William and Anna Maria, No luck in Glos either I'm afraid. Lots of Cookes but no Zechariah. The computer automatically brings up all the different spelling variations.

Hi Liz; There are loads of Salmons in Suffolk, however the latest birth is 1862. Sorry.

Hi Barbara; Sorry no luck with the name Plummer

Hi Janice; The VRI is the Brithish Vital Records Index of births and marriages. I have the second edition which consists of 16 discs (13 birth, 3 marriage). There are about 12.5 million records of varying amounts for each county.

Hi Teresa, Thanks for looking, was just wondering if you could try a different spelling? It may be Zecheriah Cook or Cooke in either Gloucs or Chepstow June 1857. Thankis again Laurie

Thanks for your time Teresa, much appreciated. If you have time - could you look up the birth of Mary E Salmon, born approx 1874 Raydon she is a daughter of Joh and Mary as in my previous request and is mygreat grandma. Many thanks once again. Liz

Teresa, could you do a lookup for George Hogg b.1775 Northallerton, Yorkshire. His parents were John and Jane Hogg also of Northallerton. I would like to know if he had any brothers or sisters. Thanks. Martin. ps. I would also be interested in anything you can find on George`s father John Hogg b. 1732 Northallerton.

Please could someone tell me what VRI is - thanks Janice

Hi Irene; I have sent you an email

Hi Teresa, Just wanted to say thanks again, you've given me some ages on the marriages which should help me confirm if they're "mine" or not!! Isn't it time you took a break? Go and have a coffee or something!!! Thanks a lot! Sarah

Hi Teresa. Yes please I would love a look up for the siblings of my Taylor family. Names of parents are: Jeremiah Taylor who married 10 July 1810 Frances Ash St Peter Wolverhampton. Henry Taylor who married Harriet Riley 7 March 1835 St Peter Wolverhampton. Thanks so very much for the offer of help. Irene

Hi Elizabeth; Sorry no luck for John and Maria. I also looked at births to see if I could find any children with parents of those names.

Hi Teresa Could you look up a marriage for me please. A John Salmon married Maria Joslin possibly in the Polstead/Hadleigh areas where they came from. Would hazard a guess at approx 1869/70 as their eldest know children was born 1871 in Hadleigh. John was born approx 1844 and Maria approx a849. Many thanks for your time. Liz

Hi Laurie; The only Zachariah Cook is in 1589. There is a Walter Cook in Beaufort, Mon 1860 with parents William and Anna Maria. Maybe this is a sibling. No luck on John Skelton. No luck on Alice Rody either. There are lots of Roddy in Ireland though.

Hi Julie; The only Matthew Davis/Davies with father matthew that is even close to the timeframe is in 1832 in Wales. Sorry

Hi Teresa, I'm after anything on Alice Rody born Ireland early 1800's (Antrim or Armagh I think, could be wrong) Thanks in advance Laurie

Hi Debbi; Is James the Hughes or Ann? I'm mixed up sorry. I have found a couple of marriages where Ann Hughes has married a James, haven't check the dates yet. Strange, I have actually found a Jane Monk Hughes married in Bristol! Yes, I do sleep, i'm 7 hours behind you, so when you are getting up I'm going to bed. Teresa
